Nestled in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, our hidden gem offers rugged beauty, peaceful solitude, and stunning views that will take your breath away. Whether exploring winding dirt roads, hiking through pristine wilderness to Piney Falls, or gazing up at the stars in the unspoiled night sky, PRR lets you experience the Rockies in their purest form.
Don’t miss the chance to discover what makes this place truly special!
Here are our top 5 reasons to stay at Piney!
Embracing Simplicity
Enjoy the opportunity to disconnect from the digital world and focus on reading, journaling, or daydreaming. Sit on your porch and take it all in with no agenda or external distractions. Very few places these days allow for a true disconnect. Many of our return guests say that’s one of the main reasons they come back year after year, as it allows them to truly connect with each other and create core memories.
Outdoor Adventures
Hit the trail and lake before the day trippers arrive! Our lodging provides easy access to the waterfall hike and the serene lake, perfect for an early morning adventure or peaceful evening canoeing and fishing. Whether you enjoy swimming, fishing, or simply exploring the surrounding nature, there’s an abundance of outdoor activities to fill your day. From the soothing sounds of the waterfall to the lake’s tranquil waters, it’s the ideal setting to connect with nature and make the most of your time outdoors.
Cozy Fireside Gatherings
Sit around the fire, roast marshmallows, tell stories, or gaze at the stars. Each of our accommodations features its own firepit, perfect for cozy nights under the sky. Many of the best summertime memories are made around a crackling fire, indulging in a few too many s’mores and enjoying the warmth of good company. Whether you’re sharing laughs, enjoying a peaceful night, or just soaking in the atmosphere, it’s the perfect way to end your day in nature.
Wildlife Watching
Depending on the time of year, you’ll likely spot moose, deer, eagles, osprey, and even trout. When the lake is calm and reflective, early mornings and dusk offer the best opportunities to see moose munching on willows and trout leaping from the water. The deer, eagles, osprey, hummingbirds, and, of course, the playful squirrels are permanent residents of the area and can be seen throughout the day. There’s something magical about being this close to nature and witnessing these incredible animals in their natural habitats—each encounter never gets old!
Unmatched Stargazing
You can’t beat our location, immersed in the heart of the White River National Forest, offering an incredible stargazing experience! Far from the city lights, our ranch provides a pristine view of the night sky, where the stars shine brilliantly, and celestial objects are easy to spot. The lack of light pollution allows for breathtaking views that are hard to find anywhere else. Whether you’re admiring the Milky Way or simply soaking in the vastness of the universe, it’s the perfect place to appreciate the wonders of the night sky.
With no outside light pollution, you’ll be amazed at the clarity and brilliance of the stars—something so many of us miss without even realizing it. On a clear night, you’ll have the chance to spot numerous constellations, and if you’re lucky, you might even catch a shooting star. Don’t forget to always look up— a whole universe is waiting to be discovered!
Experience the magic of Piney for yourself!
